GOVERNOR TENER HONORED
IT la no small tribute the Engineers'
Society has paid to Governor Tener
In voting him the first honorary
member of th© organization. It is
all the more remarkable when It is
known that the honorary membership
requires the unanimous vote of the
entire society. One black ball would
have barred the Governor. The engi
neers comprise men of every political
creed and party, and the fact that all
of them voted thus to honor Governor
Tener shows the high regard in which j
he is held by the men of this dis- ■
tinguished profession.
The Tener administration has been !
remarkable for its constructive poll- ■
< les and conservation of the State's!
resources has been one of its chief |
aims. The Governor has placed his
name to more conservation bills than !
any one of his predecessors in office I
and his work for forest preservation
and flood prevention is well known.
The honor conferred by the engineers,
although a high one. was well deserved.
THE CARLISLE MIX-I P
THE mix-up at Carlisle, which has
resulted in the deposition of
Superintendent Friedman and
the arrest of Chief Clerk Nori
on a charge of embezzlement brought
by Friedman, is regrettable in the
extreme. The school has such a splen
did record, has turned out so many
students who are justifying their
tuition there and who are teaching
the white man that the red man is his
equal at almost any kind of work, that
any reflection on the institution comes
as a shock to the public that has
grown to look upon Carlisle as a model
of its kind.
Just what is at the bottom of the
trouble has not been made public.
Possibly it will al! come out at the
court trials. It is to be hoped that
In the end it will develop that the
irregularities, if there have been such,
do not go far beneath the surface and
that fundamentally the school is as
sound as its results have indicated it
to be.
RUSSIA AND CHINA
NEWS dispatches are to the effect
that President Yuan Is showing
a willingness to tight, if neces
sary, to prevent Russia from
seizing outer and inner Mongolia.
For the moment he seems to have
been successful, but it becomes more
and more evident that time will see
China and Russia at swords' points
over this territory. What the out
come will be depends much on China's
preparedness under the new republi
can form of government when the
critical moment comes.
The attempts of Russia to obtain a
footing of some kind in Mongolia
date back as far as the period of Peter
the Great; and, as is often'the case,
•were disguised under a religious
cloak, but were in no way successful.
They were continued at intervals up
to modern times, resulting in the St,
Petersburg treaty of 18S1 between
Russia and China. In view of the
present controversy, it is interesting to
remember that Russia deliberately set
about violating this treaty when she
disguised her sinister purposes in 1912
under the thin veil of a dlsect political
convention for a commercial treaty
with the ruling Mongol potentate.
This agreement feigned to acknowl
edge the authority of the Mongolian
government—which had absolutely no
existence—excluded the Chinese ad
ministration from any share in ruling
the province and refused colonization
on Mongolian lands to the Chinese,
while sidetracking the question of
Chinese suzerainty.
China immediately protested; and
Yuan, despite the hard conditions un
der which he was carrying along the
government, dispatched a strong force
to Mongolia to back up his protest.
Russia Intrigued, encouraged Mon
golian banditry and sidestepped In the
approved Muravleff manner until the
Mongolian dukes became restive and
manifested their disinclination to any
longer pull the chestnuts out of the
fire for the Czar's ministers.
So. on November 5. in Peking, an
agreement was signed whereby Rus
sia recognized that Outer Mongolia
formed part of China's territory, but
SATURDAY EVENING,
predicated tlmt its actual boundaries
should form the subject of subsequent
negotiations. China is now forcing
an understanding upon this boundary
question and she is demonstrating to
the Mongolian the danger lurking in
so-called Russian protection the
danger already illustrated in the cases
of Korea and Bokhara.
1 The Mongol traces his history back
; to the days of Jenghis Khan, who be
tween the years 1200 and 1227 brought
;all the tribes under his authority and
' established himself as ruler of a vast
realm stretching from China to the
! banks of the Dneiper, and leaving to
his successors the conquest of Persia,
j Hindustan. Russia, Poland and Hun
gary. And this is the nation which
I has changed from a warlike people
into a conglomeration of pastoral no
| mads, at present under the iron heel
j of Russia.
j The Philadelphia Inquirer calls Gif
ford Pinchot the "squatter" candidate,
but it's our observation that he doesn't
"squat'" very much.
> tTTY PLANNING
THE South Bethlehem Globe is j
urging tho appointment of a;
city planning commission for j
that town. The Globe calls at- i
tention to the haphazard manner of]
building that has resulted in narrow j
streets in the business section of that 1
city and begs council to hasten the'
selection of commissioners under the
law of 1913, whose duty it shall be I
to see to it that the errors of the past j
along this line be not repeated.
South Bethlehem's problem is al
most identical with that of Harris
burg in this respect. Says the Globe:
Something was wrong with tne
calculations of those who planned
this city, and that error, unnotice
able then, is prominently plain now.
The state of affairs calls to mind
the necessity for a city planning
committee that the errors of a half
century ago be not repeated In the
extensions that this city is bound
to make. The need for such body
also is apparent by the natural de
sire of moneymaking of each and
every individual as to land sale and
in this respect the exploiter of
building-site operations is no ex
ception. All about the city, farms
are giving way to industrial enter
prise or town-site locations, and in
these latter a little land.is apt to be
made to go a great way in the
matter of streets. That these thor
oughfares should conform to the
measure of future demand, in the
fullest sense. Is argued by the fail
ure of Third street to provide
ample means for traffic. The nec
essity for other things, efficient
drainage and sewerage is another
feature that a corresponding status
in the city emphasizes. The rapid
growth of South Bethlehem, the an- j
nexations that are bound to result 1
are demands that the subject of [
city planning is one that would be
very unwise to postpone any longer.
The same may be said of Harris
burg, and it is gratifying to note that
Commissioner Taylor is now giving
the selection of city planning commis
sioners his attention and expects to
announce his appointments within a
very few weeks.
Berry says Pennsylvania has been
"Billy Sundayed." Then woe be unto
the pharisees and publicans.
STOPPING THE LEAKS
SEVERAL years ago a Harrisburg
man failed in business. His plant
was sold by the sheriff. It fell
into the hands of a former em
ploye, a young man of exceptional in
dustry and thrift. He knew how to
save—not only how to save the profits,
but how to save within his plant. He
knew how to prevent waste. To-day
that business is paying handsome
profits, although the volume of work
done is little greater than when it
could not pay its debts.
One of our tnost successful mer
chants says that unless a man is in
stinctively saving he will find himself
at a sad disadvantage as a storekeeper
or plant manager.
Stopping the little leaks of waste is
one of the most essential elements in
the success of a merchant or manu
facturer. Only a little margin of
waste in the handling of goods is
necessary in order completely to dissi
pate the small margin of profit,.leav
ing the mercha with only his labor
for his pains.
It is impossible to point to a single
successful merchant or manufacturer
who has not a proper regard for the
value of money and the importance of
thrift in all business relations.
Any beginner in business who does
not have this thrift instinct, or who
does not acquire the habit, will be
handicapped just to that extent in
striving toward the goal of commer
cial success.
These are principles that an ambi
tious employe should take to heart,
because financing yourself success
fully is a presumptive evidence of
your fitness to handle the financial
interests of others and to assume
greater responsibilities. A savings
bank account is an Al recommenda
tion, because it indicates so much as
to the character, ability and depend
ability of its possessor.
Then as you help your employer's
business to succeed you help your
own chances. As one large employer
put it:
"Every dollar saved in any depart
ment means that we can sell more
service for the same price. It makes
our service a better, bigger thing, and
it makes somebody a better, bigger
job."
The young man who made over
the ruined plant did so simply by stop
ping the leaks —which, by the way, is
better than trying to cut down neces
sary expenses, either in private or
business affairs.
The action of New Cuipberland citi
zens in meeting to endorse Judge Kun
kel is merely an example of what Is
happening all over Pennsylvania.
Organized labor Is supporting teach
ers of Chicago In an effort to have
their pay Increased. Why not? Isn't
teaching hard work?
The fact that one mission housed
27,651 unemployed in Chicago in the
past month is only another indication
of Democratic prosperity.
Dispatches from Washington indicate
that President Wilson is about to give
Huerta another opportunity to tell him
to go chase himself, nr words to that
general effect.

Aa illustrating the difficulty of en
forcing sanitary regulations under the
\aried conditions to be found through
ouj city, an Incident that occur
red at a downtown school this week
is much to the point. One of the pu
pils came to class with his face cov
ered by large red spots. Scenting
measles the teacher sent the child
home with instructions that he not re
tur?,^until accompanied by a medical
certificate of health. He turned up
at the afternoon session with this ex
planation: "My mother told me to
tell you that the spots on my face
are bedbug bites." "All the more
reason to send you back home," ex
claimed the horrified teacher. To-day
there is a large tag on the front door
of the boy's home labeled "German
Measles," and the lad will not be al
lowed back in school until the direc
tors are sure that all germs—and
other bugs—have been exterminated
at home.
H&rrisburg people will be interested
I to know that the sketches of the new

erect on the bluff at Jefferson show a
building embodying some of the gen
eral outline and details of the Penn
sylvania State House. It will be re
called that the building commission
was here just about a year ago and
that its members spent a day study
ing the great structure on Capitol
Hill. The commission was so much
interested that members returned
after a tour of eastern States and se
cured detailed information. Where
the Missourians have the best of Har
risburg is that they made provision
for adequate setting for their build
ing and will have formal gardens and
the best that money can secure in the
way of landscape gardening. They
got the site and the surroundings and
then started to get the building.
Ordinarily people never connect a
poster announcing a show with the
route of the production, and we are
so accustomed to the flaring letters
on the billboards that the idea of pos
ters going along with the show never
occurs to us. The big posters which
are showing in front of the "movie"
theaters, announcing races with death.
Mexican horrors, the play with the
last dollar, and why chickens rrow,
ar« as migratory as the shows. As a
matter of fact they accompany the
films, being posted on the day the
show or film is given. They leave at
night with the show.
Good fresh York and Cumberland
county dandelion was in the markets
of the city to-day and maybe there
was some Dauphin county grown.
This is the season of the year, say
the farmers, to eat the dandelion. It
is in line shape and is as delicate as it
gets strong when the weather becomes
warm. It costs something, too, and
the farmer's wife who hunts it gets
a good price at the markets.

REMARKABLE PROGRESS
OK NEGROES
[Philadelphia Ledger]
The record of the activity of colored
people in Philadelphia is an answer to
misinformed persons who imagine that
the negro is capable of menial service
only. Here is the tabulation:
200 clergymen. 72 upholsterers.
60 physicians. 6 roofers and
32 dentists. slaters.
9 lawyers. 24 plasterers.
75 stenographers. 10 paperhangers.
204 Clerks and 57 painters.

297 retail mer- Joiners.

-29 blacksmiths. neers.
250 postal clerks 15 stationary en

The colored people of Philadelphia
have one bank, which last year handled
over $1,000,000: two drug stores, two
hospitals. 14 building ana loan associ
ations and 15 Insurance companies.
They own $10,000,000 worth or real
estate.
But a generation or two ago every
negro was of necessltv engaged in
menial service and sn had his ances
tors been for centuries. The progress
of the race in Philadelphia is not only
encouraging. It Is prophetic.

John Garman and Ryan Assail Pal
mer and McCormick With
Much Bitterness
DIMMICK IS ON HIS TOUR
Goes to the Northwest to Meet the
Voters and to Organize His
Campaign Work
Democratic voters of the State must
j be amazed at tne manner in which
j the campaign for the gubernatorial
nomination is being waged by the par
tisans of Ryan and McCormick sixty
days in advance of the primaries, and
1 people who have observed politics for
! years say that never have they known
i anything so bitter as the campaign
ing.
The Old Guardsmen are lining up
with their batteries, tiring every day
and every night on the Boy Scouts, i
1 and while Berry and McCormick are i
i touring northern counties, where the i
; population is small, the Ryanites, led
by the Philadelphian in person, are
organizing in the cities.
McCormick and Palmer were the
objects of a couple of vitriolic attacks
last night. Judge John M. Garman,
of Luzerne county,
called Palmer a
Garman Flays "corporation liire-
Palnier In ling" and McCor
a Statement raick was referred
to as one who "by
dint of energy in
herited the Cameronian millions.''
, Both are accused of openly opposing
'William Jennings Bryan in 1896, anO j
! they are sized up as "political Hes
islans." Judge Garman's statement
I was provoked by statements made by
i Palmer in Scranton recently, when he
J referred to Garman as a tool of Pen
! rose.
The statement of the Judge follows:
"Notwithstanding his thorough
! adeptness in mendacity, Mr. Alexander
! Mitchell Palmer fairly outclassed him
! self when, in order to bolster his gu
| bernatorial puppet, he said, 'The dan
ger of his candidacy to the best peo
i pie behind Ryan clearly prove the In-
I terests of the Democratic party. Gar
! man, of Wllkes-Barre, has always been
I a Penrose tool, Brennen, of Pitts-
I burgh, Is one of the old Guffey crowd,
I and Jim Hall is the man who sold out
the Allentowfl convention.' The mon
strous ingratitude manifested in this
attack upon Senator Hall is thorough
ly characteristic of Palmer with full
knowledge that he solicited and re
ceived campaign contributions from
Mr. Hall. Ordinary decency should
have impelled Palmer to refrain from
attacking his benefactor, especially as
with his usual duplicity he requested
Hall to make the last contribution
through a mutual friend rather thau
directly to Palmer himself. In 1896,
when Palmer, the corporation hire
ling, and his mannikin, McCormick,
who by 'dint of great energy inherited
the Cameronian millions,' were openly
opposing the election of Mr. Bryan,
they were proud to be aiding Penrose
to elect McKinley. Both are political
Hessians."
Michael J. Ryan added to the
merry war among the Democrats by
an attack on McCormick at Altoona.
The Philadelphia
Ledger says in an
Altoona dispatch: Ryan Says
"Michael J. Ryan McCormlek's
brought his candi- Syndicated
dacy for Governor
before the Blair
county Democracy here to-day. More
than 1,500 persons called at his hotel.
"I have seven sons voting now, to
gether with a son-in-law, that makes
eight, besides myself, and you will get
them all," said ex-Mayor S. M. Hoyer,
Democratic county chairman. Many
prominent Democrats were present,
but the strong "reorganization" Dem
ocrats were conspicuous by their ab
sence. A demand was made for a
speech, and Ryan said:
"I have a right to Beelc the guber
natorial nomination and I stand on
my record. My appeal is being made
to the unowned and unbossed Demo
crats of Pennsylvania. The Demo
crats who have fought in the ranks
for years without office, and made bat
tles without the hope of office, will
not be deterred from doing their duty
according to their conscientious con
victions, simply because of promises
of postmasterships or deputy internal
revenue collectorships. The Demo
crats wWo do not care for any office
are in the majority and to these Dem
ocrats by appeal must of necessity be
made. Believing that the Democracy
of Pennsylvania is opposed to the syn
dicated nomination of McCormick, I
purpose addressing my feilow-Penn
sylvanlans with confidence, and the
demonstration here during the busy
hours of a busy day is a happy augury
of success."
During the rush some visitor ex
changed hats with Ryan, leaving a
derby of ancient vintage and much
the worse for wear. He was obliged
to buy a new hat before leaving for
Johnstown.
J. Benjamin Dimmick, candidate for
the Republican nomination for United
States senator against Senator Pen
rose. left Philadelphia last
night for the western part
Dimmick of the State to begin his
Starts on State-wide personal cam-

Mr. Dimmick arrived In

this his itinerary will be: Warren,

March 24: Meadvllle, Tuesday, March
24; Oil City, Wednesday, March 25;
Franklin, Wednesday, March 25: Pitts

At the various points along the route
at which the candidate will stop he
will hold conferences with leading in
dependent Republicans as a prelimi
nary to the organization of Dimmick
campaign committees. Mr. Dimmick
will be accompanied by C. P. Searle,
of Honesdale. Wayne county. Mr.
Searle is a son of Judge A. T. Searle.
Before leaving Philadelphia Mr. Searle
predicted that Mr. Dimmick would
carry the entire northeastern section
of Pennsylvania, including the con
gressional district represented by Con
gressman W. D. B. Ainey. also a can-
for the Republican United
States senatorial nomination.
Washington party leaders In Leb
anon county were chagrined bevond
measure when the results of Thurs
dav's enrollment were
and showed
that the Republicans Republicans
gained In every town- Make Gains
ship and borough In the In Lebanon
county since last year.
Although the personal
registration law was enforced for the
first time last year and was very
unpopular, witji many voters declining
to express party allegiance, this year's
gains in the registrations gave no ad
vantage whatever to the Washington
party, and losses are shown in every
1 district. The Democrats made a stronsr
i effort to have their vote registered,
however, and that party gained con
siderably. Out of 9,708 voters who
are now registered in the county but
678 have signified their fealty to the
Washington party. Thero were 3.043
votera who registered as Republicans,
while the Democrats had 1,439 regis
trations, the rest being noncommittal,
with the exception of 41 Prohibition
ists, 63 Socialists and 6 Progressives.
It is predicted that later In the year
the city registration will show even a
greater proportion of Republican
gains.

WHES SPRING ARItrV ES
By AVlngr Dinger
Spring's made her formal entrance.
And though the weather's cold,
'Twill make no serious difference
To woman, young or old.
It's here and that's sufficient;
She'll go about the town,
Regardless of cold weather,
In bright new hat and gown.
What if she is clad thinly?
What if she does half freeze?
What if a cold she catches,
And has to cough and sneeze?
Dear Spring has come—and woman
Will simply not put off
The wearing of new garments
For sniffle, sneeze or cough.
So watch the streets to-morrow,
You'll see her out en masse,
And you may get acquainted
With what Is really "class."

the goods and the money.—Abraham

DR. BRUMBAUGH'S CANDIDACY
[Lancaster New Era.]
The letter of Dr. Martin G. Brum
baugh announcing his candidacy for
Governor at the Republican primary
on May 19 will be received with a
great deal of satisfaction by the rank
and file of the Republican party, and, i
if we mistake not, by much of the I
element that had temporarily taken'
themselves outside its ranks, who will
now see a door opened through which
they may again return to their party
allegiance.
"My life's work," says Dr. Brum
baugh, "must be my platform and my
pledge. I have no different gift of
service for my fellow-citizens." We
do not think the neople of Pennsyl
vania want any different service from
their Governor than has been given to
them by Dr. Brumbaugh in his ca
pacity as.an educator. But if there
ever has been any doubt as to his pos
sessing the added gift of a wise
headed statesmanship his frank letter
now put forth will be sure to re
move It.

Interview in the White House

, [From the New York Sun.]
"I feel hopeful, Mr. President," said
Mr. McCombs, "that wo shall carrv tho
Congress elections, but some "little
doubts will occur. The tariff needs to
produce more revenue."
"AVe must watch and wait until it
does," said the President.
"If," continued Mr. McCombs, "the
imports of raw and partly manufac
tured material continue to decrease and
those of manufactured articles to in
crease, manufacturers and workmen
will "
"But everybody writes me that busi
ness is better."
"Everybody that wants an office is
bound to tell you that. People who
travel about the country tell a different
story. Business is stagnant. Business
men are still waiting and watching."
"If they are waiting, they are wait
ing till Congress passes my trust und
trade bills."
"Ahem! Is it indiscreet to ask, Mr.
President, what you think of the Inter
state Commerce Commission?"
"An admirable, a most faithful, zeal
ous and exemplary body "
"Pardon me for Interrupting, but you
mean a little too inclined to make an
example of any railroad that tries to
make a living."
"No, McCombs, the severest criticism
that could be made Justly of the com
mission would be that it is perhaps a
little too rigid, suspicious and doc
trinaire. For immediate political pur
poses, no doubt—but the last thing in
the world I could think of would be to
be guilty of even a shadow of a hint of
an intention to affect its decisions."
"Still, it would be highly convenient
if you could. The fact is, Mr. Presi
dent, that we must have good times.
« e re In power and the calamity howl
is against us and not with us, for once."
"But I insist that business is {rood
and constantly getting better."
"But suppose that business insists
that it isn't? Between us. Mr. Presi
dent, there are too many Wild Men from

The canal basin is filled with a largo
number of old boats which the Canal
Company is perfectly willing that any
person or persons may remove and con
vert to their own use. The timber of
these boats would make excellent fuel,
and is well worth the trouble of mov

The Fiftieth and Fifty-first Penn

much vinegar, a sprinkling of pepper
and for those who like it a teaspoonful
of olive oil. Stir thoroughly until well
mixed, and set it in a cool place. Use the
same as any dressing.—Home Depart

as well as appropriations. Then, every
day or week some corporation with
thousands of stockholders and hundreds
or thousands of workmen is prosecuted
by the Government. What good does
this sort of thing do anybody?"
"It Is right, Mr. McCombs, and it has
had organic consideration. We must
be cruel only to be kind."
'Scaring people stiff ia a curious way
of getting votes, but you've got Con

"The play of children and domestlo
animals, Mr. McCombs, is necessary.
It affords relief to emotions which con
fined might be dangerous."
"Well, how about your Cabinet? Was
it necessary to have Burleson preach
ing Government telegraphs and tele
phones? That gets on the nerves of
Democrats in the Fast, anyway."
"There are all sorts of opinions in tho
Democratic party. Many of Mr. Bry

WILSON SHOULD WAKE UP
[York Dispatch.]
It Is hard for Americans to believs
that President Wilson is uctually in
competent to direct the foreign affairs
of the country. The mess In which
our foreign relations have been floun
dering is attributed to the demands
upon the President's time by the do
mestic legislation ho has been pushing
through.
There is time to retrieve matters
from their disgraceful state if Wilson
will realize that the condition is re
garded as serious by the people. Bryan,
of course, lias no aptitude for such
concerns and evidently no Interest in
the duties of his office; so Wilson will
have to be hla own secretary of state.
